From what is shown so far, it looks like I'll be able to pass. I guess I can see why Hasbro would put these characters out with the big Clone Wars push - and these are obviously aimed towards kids - but most of these have been out plenty (or are out there right now) so you would think kids have had ample opportunity to pick these characters up already. Plus, it almost seems like "in case the animated style doesn't fly, we have these on the pegs" plan of action - but who knows. Like I said, from what is shown so far, I'm passing. I thought they mentioned this would mainly focus on Clone Wars, so its strange seeing the "throne" with 3PO in there - oh well, at least there is one OT character.

Why do we need 5 clone weapons per each basic figure? That seems quite excessive, no? At least it's good reasoning for the $1 bump we're going to get.

First I'd ref the $1 bump for sure as good reason to get a bunch of accessories, but mostly I'd say that getting extra clone weaponry has been a pretty hefty demand by people. Is it enough to buy Legends figures nobody wants though? Eh, I dunno, but if there's a handful of the Clone rifle in there, I'm digging it... I would dig if it were mixed up a bit and we got the sniper rifle that came with the Jetpack Clone, the "gatling gun" from the Battlefront pack, the Rocket launcher from the battlefront pack... Those would be cool to me, to see packed in with these Legends figures, and honestly they could probably push me to buy some. I'm short on rifles for sure.

Actually, if it is like you hope Jesse, a kind of grab bag of weapons, that'd be pretty cool. I hadn't really considered they'd do that, but I guess it makes as much sense as putting just a couple clone rifles in.

As pointed out, Hasbro has already said the weapons would be the same from figure to figure in the clone locker. Unless they backpedal on that (which they've been known to do), there will be no reason to think there will be different accessories with each locker.

Sorry, not trying to burst the bubble here, but I also don't want a frivilous rumor to be started by someone's hopeful wishes, only to be trounced later on, then people getting mad at Hasbro for something that wasn't their fault *.

*They have enough to answer for with their treatment of GH over the Falcon.

Yeah, there's no rumor there, just a "neat idea" if they were to branch out clone weaponry as some of those pieces aren't easy to come by.

As it is though, I'm happy with rifles considering I don't have near enough, so I'm still pretty content on the extra weapons as they'll likely turn out to be. It's something I asked for a long time ago, and it's working out, so yay.
